*YP 6.1 M3 is due for release
*YP 6.1 M1 is due to build next week
*Our plan is to build M4 within the next week unless significant problems become known as we’re not aware of anyone working on any major fixes which would delay it.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
*If there are release blocking issues, please report ASAP.
*The upgrade to gcc 16 merged
*We have made progress on the build architecture reproducibility issues, thanks in particular to Alejandro and Sunil and team at Windriver for getting the major rust issues resolved. There are around 30 issues left as shown by the *autobuilder tests (down from ~90) so great progress.
*We are planning to improve our python subprocess calls to avoid shell=True, we would appreciate others following and doing this in their code too.
*python3-six recipe moved to meta-oe, it provides python 2.x era support so nothing should be needing that now - references are a sign that dependencies probably need updating but it is still available if needed.
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
*There are issues which are in a position where others could now help:
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue - thanks for the work and fixes so far on this.
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**See Richard’s email on the list https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/areas_we_could_do_with/121159956 which details some others too
**groff build race issues
We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*Qemu v11 dropped support for 32 bit hosts and we are likely to drop support for running builds on 32 bits hosts
*The upstream kernel is looking likely to drop x32 support and if they do, we will have to drop our support too - let hem/us know if you’re using it!
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto
